CLASS SONG
Class of '21.
By WALFRED JOHNSON
From north, from south, from east, from west
from lands across the sea,
Our paths have lead o'er hill and plain
oh Bethel! unto thee,
We gathered here full forty strong,
the greatest class and best,
To learn and toil, to lift and smile,
to live and work with zeal.
Chorus:
Unfurl our dear maroon and gold,
Ye loyal and ye true.
With trust in God and courage bold
Each task we'll bravely do.
Together we have worked and played
as side by side we've stood.
We've been united, heart and soul
in bond of brotherhood.
Each passing day, each fleeting hour
has brought us golden store;
It was evening. The day had been hot
and sultry, foretelling the coming thunder-storm
that did so much to clear the at-mosphere
and quench the thirst of nature.
The trees, shrubs and flowers stretched
forth their petals and leaves as if eager to
gain as much as possible from the falling
raindrops. The renewed song of the birds
together with the fragrance from all of
refreshed nature gave pleasure, relief, and
recreation to the weary workers at the
mission station in Calcutta, India.
When the storm had ceased, a middle-aged
man, somewhat above average height,
entered the veranda of a beautiful bunga-low,
and after viewing the brilliant sun-set,
sought out a large bamboo-chair,
where he could enjoy the beauties of na-ture
as well as take the much needed rest.
The day had been a strenuous one, giving
no time for relaxation. In the morning he
had performed several operations, at the
Enriched our lives and strengthened us
for tasks that lie before.
But swift the days have passed away,
these happy Bethel days.
Oh Seniors! list!—the time has come
for parting of our ways.
Farewell oh Bethel! best of schools,
our Alma Mater true,
Our fondest memories will be
of days we've spent with you.
Still, though we part, each one his way
we'll all united be
To serve our God, uphold the truth
and aid humanity.
The great world's work is 'waiting us,
our part we'll bravely do
Each member of our dear old class
the Loyal and the True.
mission hospital; in the afternoon he had
instructed his class of young Hindoos in
the Medical College connected with the
hospital, and just before his return home
he had addressed a group of young men in
the Mission chapel.
"On what 'day are you leaving, August?"
The familiar voice sounded from the adja-cent
room where the evening meal was
being prepared.
"I am not certain as yet, but think it
will be the latter part of next week," was
the response from the cheerful but fatigued
occupant upon the veranda.
This question diverted the Doctor's thots
from the worries of his work, the meaning
of the sickness and the sin and misery about
him. He thot of the journey he was to
take to America; of the joy it would give
him to address the Student Volunteer Con-vention
at which he had been asked to
speak and where he could present the
needs of his dear people before thousands
of the young people called and qualified for
foreign service. He would also be privi-leged
to see a number of his classmates of
the by-gone school days and attend the
class reunion planned in connection with
the Student Volunteer Convention.
As he thus sat meditating the door-bell
rang and as Dr. Berg opened the door he
was greeted by "Good Evening" and "How
are you?" from the entering visitors in
whom he recognized none other than his
old classmates at Bethel: Walfred John-son,
Alice Jorgenson and Emil Nylund.
After they had been seated and Dr. Berg
had welcomed them in his own brotherly
way, the call came for 'supper. At the
table they related their various experi-ences
at the mission station, also recalling
many incidents and anecdotes from school-days.
From their conversation we learn
that Walfred was teaching at the Bible
school for Evangelists and Alice Jorgen-son
was doing wonderful work as the head
of the Women's Dep't. in that station, and
had many interesting experiences to relate.
Mr. Nylund, somewhat unwilling at first,
was finally persuaded to relate some of
his experiences in connection with the
work as dean of the Theological Seminary
for the native pastors. This account
showed that he had been led to perform
the most thorough-going and fruit-bearing
work as teacher and preacher. Thus the
evening continued and volumes could be
filled if their experiences were recorded.
The following week Dr. Berg, together
with a number of friends, gathered at the
wharf to take the boat, "Excelsior," which
was to carry them to America. Many had
come to bid their doctor "God Speed,"
and as the final signal was given, he step-ped
on board. The ship was soon moving
slowly out of the harbor and the forms on
the wharf became mere specks and then
vanished in the distance.
As Mr. Berg sought out his, stateroom,
he passed the salon from whence he heard
the strains of a familiar gospel song. Then
he was attracted by the clear voice of the
speaker and with the usual desire to at-tend
a meeting of this sort, he quietly
slipped in to a seat in the back of the
room. To his great pleasure he finds the
speaker to be none other than Bengt Ander-son
who is returning to the Convention
from Russia where he has been active in
his Master's service in presenting the gos-pel
to the people and instructing the
young people in Bible truths in the Uni-versity
there. In this gathering are other
Bethelites, a few of the class of '21'.
Edith Anderson returning from Japan,
where she acted as Supt. of Nurses, in the
Hospital in Tokyo;—Ingrid Stjernstrom, a
teacher in the largest Baptist College in
China, where she is the means of influenc-ing
men and women to go forth in the ser-vice
of their Savior and Master. To the
surprise of all when again returning to
deck they are greeted by the pleasant face
of Freedolf Anderson, who has been lead-ing
a geographical expedition in the Hi-malaya
Mts., but is forced to return home
on account of his health.
After a journey of somewhat over two
weeks, the "Excelsior" glides thru the
"Golden Gate" into the harbor of San
Francisco and with joy they again see the
dear, old U. S. 'A. In the usual rush on the
pier, crowds hurrying to and fro, there is
one whom they cannot fail to notice, a man
of perhaps 40 years, eagerly watching the
passengers as they pass him. When he
turns toward them they see their old
schoolmate Arthur Erickson now pastor
of the Los Angeles church. In his fine
"Pierce Arrow" they motor over the paved
highway which is lined by flower beds of
the beautiful California flowers and shaded
by the immense California trees, to that
beautiful city. As Mrs. Erickson giving
them a hearty welcome, leads them in to
the parlor they are surprised to find that
they are not the first visitors for here
have gathered many familiar faces. First
that of a woman whose smile has not been
erased by the years of strenuous work
in 'Siberia, but who has been able to do
much to brighten the lives of those poor
people there. She is the same happy
Emily that her classmates knew at Bethel.
She brings greetings from Ruth Forsberg
who took her place as the Supt. of the
Hospital in Vladivostok. Then there is
Harry Lundell who returned from Japan
but a few days before. He has been doing
a wondrous work there as missionary and

instructor, and has had the pleasure of
leading many souls to Christ. Vernon
Berg who in the part as soloist in an evan-gelistic
party brings the gospel to thou-sands
by his song is also present. A most
delightful evening is spent and no one
realizes how quickly the time has flown
until the tall hall clock tells the lateness
of the hour.
The next day the missionaries and others
gather at the Aeroplane station, where the
"Queen of the Air," is waiting to take
them to the Twin Cities, where, within a
week the Student Volunteer Convention is
to be held. The plane with its capacity
of 50, is making its "maiden" trip and is
beautifully fitted out for the occasion.
A stalwart middle-aged man, seemingly
more interested than the rest, watches
with eagerness the preparation for the de-parture.
As he comes toward them they
recognize him as Elmer Johnson better
known as "Jasper" who explains the rea-son
for his special interest, this is the 15th
of his planes.-14 of which have made suc-cessful
trips to various parts of the U. S.
It is both new and enjoyable for these
returned missionaries to feel themselves
lifted slowly upward into the air, until
they reach the proper height, and at a dis-tance
at which the rivers, lakes, buildings,
trees, and all seem but toys in a miniature
garden. The journey is made successfully,
with great delight to the passengers and
they are safely brought to Minneapolis and
alight at the Aviation Station a short dis-tance
outside the city. To their surprise
they are met, not by the stern and cold
face of a stranger but by the smiling face
of Milton Ward now an influential pastor,
and as they afterward learn, the head of
the Student Volunteer committee. He invites
them to his home, having planned a most
enjoyable time for his visitors.
In the evening Edith Nelson, well-known
society woman and church worker; Oliver
Olson, prominent business man of the
Twin Cities, Clarence Moberg, returned
from a Scientific Research in Brazil and
now lecturer in colleges and universities
throughout the country; and Esther Duf-strom,
head of the English Dept. in Bethel
College, gather at the home of Rev. Ward
and together they spend a delightful eve-ning.
The next day the convention was sched-uled
to open and thousands of students,
professors, and missionaries gather at the
Bethel college auditorium, a beautiful new
marble structure and might be said to have
been erected by Carl Palm, a wealthy far-mer
in South Dakota whose large contri-bution
made it possible to build this build-ing,
where the convention is now to be
held.
The meeting is opened by the leading
character and chairman Edwin Omark, re-nowned
for his oratorical ability and
Christian influence. Dr. Berg, as he is in-troduced
and steps forward to take his
place before the audience is surprised to
see so many familiar faces, among which
are a number of his former classmates, El-len
Hedlund whom he learns is acting as
traveling secretary for the 'Students Vo-lunteer
Movement, Goldie Putnam, an ac-tive
and industrious Y.W.C.A. worker in
the state of 'Minnesota, and Genevieve Has-selblad,
who has many interesting incidents
to relate to her classmates of her interest-ing
experiences in the Native Woman's
Training School in Africa. This meeting
as well as those that follow is one of great
inspiration and influence leading those
present to greater service.
Immediately after the convention, the
members of the class of '21 get together,
according to the arrangement, for the class
reunion. There is a hum as the stu-dents
meet to renew their former class ac-quaintance
and after exhibiting the usual
class spirit in giving the B-E-T-H-E-L led
by our influential Yell leader, Barthel Ja-cobson,
now Senator for the state of Il-linois,
the President is finally able to call
the class to order. After a short business
session, we listen with pleasure and enjoy-ment
to the words of welcome and confi-dence
of our former English IV. teacher,
Prof. H. C. Wingblade, now President of
the Bethel 'College. We recall the days
spent in the classrom while he instructed
us, when he impressed upon our minds,
great truths 'that are never to be forgotten
and his 'Christian influence which inspired
us on to greater victories and service.
Telegrams which were then read by the
President from those who could not be
present at the reunion, but who sent their
congratulations and greetings were from:
Alfred 'Nelson, judge of the court in his
district in Florida, who was detained by
special session of the court.—Ragnhild
Johnson now a prominent writer in Sweden,
noted for her wonderful contributions to
Swedish 'Literature, and Mary Johnson,
traveling in Europe for the National Wel-fare
League, visiting both Northern and
Southern countries. A poem was then read,
in honor of the occasion and after a thor-ough
investigation it was found that Elsie
Larson, now prominent short story writer
for the largest and best magazines, was the
author and who told of the start she got
in her line of work while serving in the
capacity of secretary of the class.
'A banquet by far exceeding any ever giv-en
at Bethel was arranged under the super-vision
of Mary Peterson, now Mrs.
and president of the Home Workers Club;
Mabel Peterson, who now is teacher in the
Business 'College connected with Bethel,
and Naomi T'ornblom, a prosperous and
happy leader in 'society circles but more
renowned for her splendid cooking. At the
table the request is given for toasts and a
number of members respond.—Ragnar Wall,
now 1M.D. head of the Swedish Hospital in
Minneapolis, Elmer Palm, wealthy banker
in Buffalo, N. Y.,—Albin Norling, now Gov-
And it came to pass in the year 1917, on
the 26th day of September, that there came
to the halls of Bethel Academy forfy-five
new students who were termed, according
to the language of school life, Freshmen.
Thus it happened that the largest class in
the history of Bethel Academy entered the
corridors thereof on that day.
As time passed and day was added unto
day and night unto night we began to re-alize
that some form of government was
necessary in order that we might maintain
our individuality and develop to a higher
degree of civilization. The class therefore,
ernor of Minnesota, and Gordon Bodien,
world-known photographer, made famous
by the new invention, the lens-less camera,
recently placed on the market. Naomi Lar-son,
officer in the International Sunday
School Association, told us many striking
incidents of her experiences as organizer
of the Kindergarten 'Dept., and Edythe
Bjorklund, entirely satisfied with her
career as teacher, gave an interesting ac-count
of her work at Macalaster College.
Last though by no means least, there is
also present, Amy Peterson, modest as
usual, who has chosen the quiet walk of
life, is not denied the happiness of life, but
is probably more fortunate than her class-mates.
The entire banquet and reunion was pro-claimed
by all a great success. The meet-ing
closed by 'singing the class song led by
our chapel leader Edwin Omark, and the
memory of those happy times they have
spent together as' a class, the remembrances
of which can never be erased. The mem-ories
of old acquaintance will remain to
brighten the way of life and to lead, though
sometimes through apparent failures but
at last to complete victory when guided by
Him who knows the way. May we follow
in His footsteps and remain true and loyal
to Him, to our ideals, our school, and to
our friends in life.
organized with Arthur Peterson as Presi-dent.
Now in that day a proclamation was
made throughout the school that all Fresh-men
were to be officially received into the
school. Thereupon, on a certain Saturday
evening, all were assembled together in the
school auditorium, where we were royally
entertained and thereafter wholesomely fed
on oatmeal gruel and condensed milk, which
will also be remembered as being part of
the repast of the four Hebrew boys in the
palace of Nebuchadnezzar. We are greatly
indebted to our predecessors for their kind

6 consideration in having given us this brain
food for from that day to this have we in-creased
in knowledge and stature until now
we have ranked as the most intelligerit
class graduated from Bethel Academy.
Now after these days, it came to pass, on
November the 5th in the same year, we had
our first class meeting. While we were dis-cussing
important questions of the day, for
we were all born politicians, the hungry
and ill-fed Sophomores robbed us of our re-freshments.
In those days it came to pass throughout
the length and breadth of our land there
arose a great call for men to aid their coun-try
and the world in the cause of honour
and justice. Unto this call eight of our
number responded and were gathered in
the ranks that marched beneath the Amer-ican
flag. The lives of all were spared.
Three returned to our dear old class.
In athletics our class was not the least
noted,—two of our number being able to
capture places on the second team in bas-ketball.
Then upon the annual field day,
before a great host of witnesses, one of our
number came out first in the mile run.
Other things such as these. were char-acteristic
of our class. In showing the
school spirit our class was far in advance
in that they contributed to the school de-partment
drive, the sum of $225.00. Thus
ends the Freshmen year of the class of 1921.
* * *
There being little of importance in the
Sophomore year beyond the ordinary it will
be sufficient to mention that Edmund Luff
was chosen president of this year's class.
The most important social event of this
year was the weiner-roast which was given
in honor of the Juniors.
Having much more to write unto you re-garding
later events we will not burden
our readers with a lengthier account of this
year's proceedings.
Howbeit when we had come thus far we
met others who were toiling toward the
same goal, and thinking us congenial com-pany,
they joined themselves to our num-ber,
and thus we began the famous Junior
Class. Straightway we elected Ernest Has-selblad
as our president and desiring to
lose no time we immediately set about to
show forth the quality of our class.
From time to time, during the year, we
assembled ourselves together for the pur-pose
of transacting our business as well as
for the purpose of maintaining a "party"
spirit in the class. The most enjoyable so-cial
event of the year was the sleighride
party which was held on a pleasant evening
in February. On this memorable night,
there was nothing to mar our joy save the
loss of a goodly supply of doughnuts which
were confiscated in a raid made by our
worthy brethren, the Seniors, for Fhich
they paid dearly at a later date.
Now there were certain young men in our
class who were deemed worthy of holding
the presidency of two of the most im-portant
religious organizations of our
school,—namely, the 0. J. M. M. M. and the
Missionary Band. These men were Bengt
Anderson and August Berg. Our class has
always shown intense interest in religious
work as evidenced by the number who have
applied themselves to active service of
various kinds.
In athletics our class has shone bright-ly.
Barthel Jacobson was elected Yell Lead-er
of the school. Four of our boys were
decorated with B's as a reward for their
special merit in basketball.
And it came to pass on a certain day in
the month of May, that Bethel met Minne-haha
for the annual field meet. The talent
of the Junior class was displayed in the
fact that Bengt Anderson came out first
in the mile run and a certain young man
named Omark came out first in the stand-ing
broad jump, while another designated
by the name of Ragnar Wall carried off
honors in the throwing of the shot-put.
Again it came to pass on another day in
May that the various classes were called
upon to arrange for a special Bethel Boos-er
program and low and behold! the plat-form
in the auditoripm was suddenly trans-formed
into a clinic by the Juniors. There
were doctors, nurses and attendants who
administered to the various and strange
ills of the patients. All that heard and be-held
were amazed and astonished, when
they learned that these ills were curable
by entering some department or taking
some course in Bethel Academy.
Now when all this had been accomplished
the starring event of the year took place in
the form of a Junior-Senior banquet. The
feast, the decorations and the program
were the most unique and extraordinary
ever carried out by any class. The Seniors
departed in good spirits and with kindlier
thoughts of the Junior class.
Thus it came about that the time was at
hand when we re-assembled in the halls of
Bethel to complete our course. When the
Senior class convened we numbered forty
souls, but noticed that many new faces had
replaced those formerly among us. On the
nth day of September in the year 1920, a
class meeting was held in which we elected
August Berg as our chief executive and
other worthy were elected who, together
with various committees, were to direct the
activities of the year.
Now in these days, during the administra-tion
of "Augustus Bergus," our worthy pres-ident,
many things were brought to pass.
As we continued in our way we felt the
need of a faculty advisor who could tide us
through our Senior year, and thereupon
chose 'Professor Henry C. Wingblade, who
has proven not only a trusty guide but a
faithful friend and a wise counsellor. Al-though
his English assignments seemed
long and hard, and there was much mur-muring
among us concerning them, we now
appreciate the value of the same and what
the training has meant to us.
Then, in order that, in the days to come
The lawyer who drew up the following
will was rather bewildered as to what he
should do when he found out that there is
not a sufficient number of Juniors to go
around for all the Seniors this year. But
he managed to wiggle out of the difficulty
by deciding that no Junior—in order to
keep him, or her, from getting "big-headed"
—should receive more than one legacy
from the Seniors. In this case, the lawyer
said, the 'Seniors must pass on some of
their heirlooms to the members of the low-er
classes. The last "Will and Testament"
of the Senior Class of Nineteen-twenty-one,—
the signatures being witnessed by
Jake Rabbitfur and John Oatmeal,--reads
as follows:—
we might have something to remind us of
the happy days spent together, we chose
as our class colors, maroon and gold. We
could think of no motto more suitable for
our class than "Loyal and True" and pur-posed
in our hearts to ever live up to our
high ideals.
This know also, that in these last days,
although we were pressed by much work,
we nevertheless, willingly partook in all
the school activities; and not least in ath-letics
for all but one of the members of the
basketball team were Seniors.
There has been little to mar the happi-ness
of this, our 'Senior year, except ;the ill-ness
of two our beloved classmates, one of
whom has been restored to us, and the
other, we trust by God's great grace, may
also be permitted to be with us again.
Now as the days are beginning to draw
nigh when we 'shall leave our Alma Mater,
we are glad that we can leave as a re-membrance
to the school a most valuable
and practical gift consisting of an electric
clock system.
We now therefore, beloved teachers and
fellow students, look back on these Bethel
years with mingled feelings of regret and
appreciation ;—regret that our parting
comes so soon, but with the deepest ap- •
preciation,—first, to our instructors for all
they have done for us in helping to fit us
for life service, and also to the entire
school family for their help and for the
mutual friendships formed.

DOWN IN THE CELLAR WHERE IT'S
COOL
By A. W. NELSON, '21
Down in the cellar where it's cool
We cook our grub while going to school.
One gas range with burners four,
Three forks, a knife and one spoon more,
One cracked kettle and a frying pan,
Bavin's the cook and feels like a man.
Breakfast we eat at half past four,
Nine cakes each and not one more,
Syrup on top and butter below
Thank God, for this He did bestow.
We scrub the dishes in the tub
And wipe 'em by putting the towel to rub.
Dinner we don't eat quite so slow,
Forty-five minutes and to school we go,
Rice, and oats and corn fish stew,
Cooked the way the Indians do;
Just push the pan on the fire bright
This grub we eat but do not sight.
Supper's the meal that's all the go
Cause time's nothing after school, you
know,
Fried spuds brown and onions, too,
Just the food that's good for you,
There aint no style or fancy quibs
Just plain grub that sticks to the ribs.
Sunday's a day of rest for us
Cause we're dressed too nice to cook and
fuss,
So we grab what's cold and let that do
Till we get doughnuts at the B. Y. P. U.
Then we're always ready to start the week
right
With an empty stomach and a big appetite.
Ten dollars a month it takes for two
To furnish all that's needed for stew.
The work it takes don't need much time
Cause it's all fun, aint worth a dime,
When you're hungry come for a treat
We do it well and do it cheap.
Who could happier be in school
Than Nelson and Bavin down where it's
cool,
Sitting together on a box and board
And placing grub where it ought to be
stored
Laughing and being to each other kind
Each telling the other the thought of his
mind.

COMMENCEMENT
At graduation perhaps as never before do
the words of Longfellow ring out: "Life is
real, Life is earnest." A completed school
course is the commencement of one's life
work. The happy care-free school days are
exchanged for the stern reality of life. Yet
no one who has used his days of prepara-tion
wisely need fear the future. He com-mences
his career confident of a life of
usefulness to God and to mankind.
A large number of excellent young men
and women, the largest in the history of
Bethel, graduate this year and all join most
heartily in wishing every one of them God-speed
in whatever realm of life each ex-pects
to enter. Great things are prophesied
of them and great things are expected of
them and we know we shall not be dis-appointed
if all remain true to the precepts
inculcated at dear old Bethel. May this be
the commencement of great things for all
of you.
A WORD. OF THANKS
The measure of success attained by the
Bethel Herald during the school year now
drawing to a close is due to the splendid
co-operation enjoyed in its publication. No
venture of this kind can be successfully

PRESIDENT'S CORNER
At the close of the Spanish American War
Major General Leonard. Wood was offered
a business position that would have yield-ed
not less than forty thousand dollars a
year. He declined it, choosing to continue
a life that brought him into constant touch
with human life, with opportunities to serve
effectively the needs of men in the strenuous
conflicts of life. This is not surprising
when we read that he has said: "A motto
for all Americans—'I serve.' Somewhere,
each and everyone of us must serve the na-tion
to the very best of our ability." We
cannot serve as we should till we catch a
vision of the world's need and our relation
to it. No one can fully realize himself and
his possibilities till he sees the vision and
identifies himself with a world movement
to accomplish the fulfillment of this vision.
We have, save and preserve only that which
we let go, give out and invest in the great
world enterprise. The Christ we will not
share we may not keep. Active resistless
service in the truest and best sense will be
possible only as it grows out of the season
of meditation and prayer.
"More things are wrohght by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let
thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or
goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of pray-er
Both for themselves and those who call them
friend."
Morte -d' Arthur—Tennyson.
Prayer makes possible spiritual vision to
the eyes of the soul, who by trust in God
depending upon His promise, launches out
in faith and obedience to serve, lovingly,
joyfully, tirelessly, as he himself would be
served. Hence the highest type of service
is that which draws from the deepest sourc-es
and rises to the highest level. The de-velopment
of the body may make a splendid
animal, the discipline of the mind may make
a brilliant demon! To ignore or subor-dinate
the spiritual nature is inhuman and
unreasonable. Body, mind and spirit are
indispensible to the highest development in
man and hence to the most effective and
fruitful service. This is not impossible,
except as one considers one hundred per
cent efficiency as the goal to be reached at
the start. It is the abuse or rather misuse
of the resources and powers nearest at hand
that seemingly makes this goal unreachable.
'From figures furnished by the Secretary of
Treasury it appears, that money spent in one
year needlessly, if laid up for a rainy day
or used for necessities, would accomplish
marvelous results. The figures include what
the American public spends for chewing
gum, fifty million, candy one billion, ciga-rettes
880 million, soft drinks, ice cream
soda, etc. 350 million, perfumery and cos-metics
750, million, cigars 510 million, tobac-co
and snuff 800 million, furs 300 million,
carpets and luxurious clothing 1 billion 50.0
million, toilet soaps 4001 million, or a sum
total of six billion dollars in twelve months.
The labor and capital employed in producing
these luxuries might otherwise have been
turning out necessities, clothes, food, fuel,
shoes, houses. The luxury consumer is pay-ing
a higher price for his necessities be-cause
he is al normally consuming luxuries.
Who are the innocent ones, not included in
this class? Surely they are few. We should
remember that capital, whether a few pen-nies
or a few dollars or a larger sum, rep-resents
human thought, energy and labor.
It is a part of us and what we inherited from
our forbearers translated into coin. It is
a vehicle for service either to the uplift
or down throw of humanity. May we not
be found guilty of the latter, otherwise we
will not only injure our neighbor but limit
ourselves and cut short our own career of
usefulness. Garret P. Serviss says, that a
person's brains keep him young, or would
do so if he exercised his brains—and no one
will admit he hasn't any brains or that he
doesn't exercise them. "If your occupa-tion
consumes your bodily energies" he says,
lag sip° ureaq anoA awn auras aul lu pue„
no exercise or the least possible exercise,
your chances for long life are not very good.
It will be found in cases of remarkable
longevity that the subjects were mentally
active to a noticeable degree, even when
their occupations and their status of edu-cation
did not demand what is called intel-lectual
labor."
This again stresses the importance of serv-ing
with all mental, physical and spiritual
talents and abilities. This, and this alone
makes possible the highest development of
character, which in turn makes for a true,
well rounded full-orbed life. Such a life we
pray may be the result of the endeavor of
the 'students of Bethel Institute as they go
forth from the school, some never to return
as students again and others to return at
the opening of another school year. Let us
take as our ideal of service the Master, who
said, "I am among you as he that serveth."
Luk. 22: 27. One verse of a recent writer,
who passed on after a life of active service,
reveals the secret to every Bethelite:
"As I go through the valley, life makes clear
Three radiant truths like torches for my
mind:
The road to knowledge is the road of pray-er.
The tranquil heart creates the listening ear.
God tells his secrets but to souls resigned.
So, patiently upon my way I fare,
With emptied pitcher moving on my course,
Knowing that I shall fill it at the source,
As I go through the valley."

AUGUSTINIIS
ERIC N. LINDHOLM
Bland livsteckningar aga, vi ett enastaen-de
verk — en sjalvbiografi, mojligen den
fbrsta som nagonsin skrivits ,och som an-nu
skiljer sig fran alla de ovriga uti det att
den är stalld till Gud. Uti denna livsteck-ning
se vi den store kyrkofadern och lara-ren
Augustinus, bOjd i stoftet, samtalande
med .Gud under det att han solar sig uti
hans karlek, omedveten- om att hans ord
uppfangas av nagot ma,nniskodra. Dessa "be-kannelser",
skrivna uti hans fyratio-fjarde
r, hade som aysikt, enligt hans egna ord,
uti en senare skrift, att "vare sig de han-visa
till min ondska eller till min godhet,
prisa den rattvise och Bode Guden, och eg-ga
manniskan till att, i sinne och hjarta,
narma sig honom."
Fran dessa "Bekannelser", ehuru mycket
saknas som vi skulle onska att veta, skola
vi soka att framplocka nagot som malar for
oss denne mans. valsignelserika liv:
Aurelius Augustinus toddes den 13de
november ar 354, i Tagaste, en liten oan-senlig
by i Norra ,Afrika, i provinsen Nu-midien,
icke langt fran den, en gang val-kanda
staden, Hippo Regius. Fran sin
hedniske fader Patricius, arvde Augustinus
en lidelseful natur, som blev honom till
mycken skada; men frail sin &den gudfruk-tiga
moder Monica, arvde han en djup och
innerlig langtan till Gud, ,som foljde ho-nom
igenom de stormiga ungdomsaren, och
som sedermera fann uttryck uti dessa skO-na
ord: "Du har skapat oss for Dig sjalv,
och vart hjarta ar oroligt till dess att det
vilar i Dig." Denna langtan, och denna
vordnad for Gud, fasta,n undantrangd,
fOljde honom under skoltiden i Madaura
och Kartago, under hans resor till Milano
och Rom, pa hans vandring igenom de
varldsliga lustarnas dunkla labyrint, ige-nom
alla Manikeismens, Akademismens och
Platonismens irrlaror, till dess att Den
Helige Ande, igenom Ambrosii prediknin-gar,
och en troende moders ivriga boner,
verkade uti den trettio-tre-arige ynglingen
den underbara forandring, varigenom han
blev till sa stor valsignelse for en after-varld.
Sasom en rent ung Bosse borjade Augus-tinus
att idka studier, men han paminner
sig senare, att han redan under denna tid
borjade att ga pa sina egna vagar. Han
bdrjade att tala osanning bade for sina
rare, saval som for sina toraldrar, och be-gick
aven smastdlder uti hemmet, sarskilt
i matvaror. Uti sina lekar var han under
denna tid ingalunda ett exempel, och hans
egna ord darom aro betecknande: "Ofta
under leken," sager han, "sOkte jag segern
pa, ett oarligt salt, ty jag var sjalv beseg-rad
av ett tomt begar efter att vara fram-staende
och under det jag blev
blottstalld, fOredrog jag att grala hellre
an att giva after."
Vid sexton ars alder blev det nbdvandigt
for Augustinus att avbryta sina studier i
grammatik och retorik, som han paborjat
i den narbelagna staden Madaura, emedan
hans foraldrar for tillfallet voro i mycket
knappa omstandigheter. Fadern, som re-dan
tidigt lagt marke till sonens stora be-gavning,
sokte aft, sa, snart som mOjligt
skaffa medal ter att ,ater ,sanda honom till
skolan, denna gang till Kartago. Om sin
faders villighet att uppoffra fOr sin skol-bildning,
sager Augustinus, "UtOver sina
tillgangar, brukade han utrusta sin son
med alit som behiivdes Mr en lang resa
for studiernas skull. Manga, som voro
langt mera valbargade, gjorde ej nagot
sadant for sina barn." Betecknande til-lagger
han: "Men denne samme fader fra-gade
aldrig efter huru jag tillvaxte infdr
Dig; sa, lenge jag kunde tala med ledig-het."
Under tiden som foraldrarna hdllo
pa att repa sig pa det ekonomiska, gick
Augustinus fafang, och utsattes for man-ga
frestelser till synd. Angaende denna
tid sager han sjalv: "Det onda begarets
Omen vaxte Over mitt huvud, och ingen
hand var tillstades att rycka dem upp."
Men hans moder, den gudfruktiga Monica,
uti vars hjarta Gud redan fatt uppratta ett
tempel, bad for honom och varnade honom
for de Synder, Isom han redan bOrjat bega.
Han omtalar sjalv senare, att han betrak-tade
dessa varningar s,a barnsliga, att han
rodnade vid tanken pa att taga dem i akt.
Men da, han sedermera kern att besinna sig
infer Gud, sager han om dessa rad: "Dina
varo de, och jag visste det icke."' Hans
kamrater hello pa att utdva ett ont infly-tande
pa. honom under denna tid. Tillsam-mans
med dem begick han stolder uti de
narbelagna tradgardarna, icke dartor att
han alskade tradens frukt, utan darter att
han alskade att Ora just det som var fOr-bjudet.
Angaende dessa sina kamrater ut-talar
han sig i fdljande ord: "Hurudana
voro icke dessa kamrater i vars sallskap
jag vandrade fram pa, Babylons gator, i
vilkas smuts jag valtrades sasom i kanel
och dyrbar IsmOrjelse." Huru djupt Au-gustinus
sjOnk under denna tid, da han
saknade sysselsattning, framgar tydligt av
foljande ord: "Jag alskade att fOrgas. Jag
alskade min egen synd — icke det for vars
skull jag syndade, utan synden sjalv."
Omsider anlande Augustinus till Karta-go.
Under sina studier darstades kom han
att lasa ett verk som hette "Hortensius,"
fOrfattat av den romerske valtalaren Cice-ro.
Denna skrift inneholl en framstall-fling
av de ferdelar som voro fOrknippade
med idkandet av filosofiska studier; och
Augustinus bOrjade att langta erfter "vis-hetens
odddlighet." Uti denna skrift fann
han aven atergivna, Pauli ord i Kol. 2: 8,
9, "Sen till att ingen bortrOvar eder med
varldsvisheten och tomt bedrageri efter
manniskostadgar, efter varldens barnala-ror
och icke efter Kristus. Ty i Honom
bor ,Gudomens hela fullhet lekamligen."
Sasom vi redan antytt hade han tidigt lart
karma och ,alska Jesusnamnet; att begag-na
hans eget uttryck hade han "druckit in
detta namn med modersmjEilken," och detta
gjorde att all vishet ehuru hOg, polerad
och sanningsenlig den an var, som utelam-nada
eller foraktade detta namn, misslyc-kades
uti att gripa hans Warta. Sadan
vishet fann han uti denna Ciceros skrift.
Men det nyss anfOrda citatet fran Pauli
penna grep honom till den grad, att han
beslOt sig for att vidare rannsaka de Hell-ga
,Skrifterna. Han alskade, atminstone
till att bdrja med, iSkriftens rena och adla
Stil, och tilltalades djupt av dess mysteri-er,
men kunde dock ej undga, den kanslan
att skriften fordrade nagot av honom, som
han var alit for stolt att giva. Han sager
sjalv darom: "Men jag var icke en som
kunde tranga mig in uti dess djupheter,
eller boja mitt huvud tor att fOlja, dess
stag." Inom kort fOrsakade han Skrifter-na
sasom varande allt for enkla for honom
att befatta sig med, men det hade odesdig-ra
foljder, ty han insnaddes snart uti Ma-nikeismens
irria,ror, varifran han med stor
moda undkom,
Under hela denna tid bars han pa bo-nens
armar av den alskliga modern. Un-derstundom
undrade hon om sonen verk-ligen
skulle finna sin fralsare, men hennes
tro triumferade Over hennes tvivel, och
hon blev fervissad om att hennes boner
skulle bliva besvarade. Da hon en gang Opp-nada
.sitt hjarta for en troende biskop, tros-tade
han henne med de skona orden: "Giv
dig till freds; en son av sa, manga moders-tarar
kan icke ga forlorad." Detta svar
mottog hon som ett budskap direkt ifran
Gud. Vid denna tid hade Augustinus barjat
att se det oegentliga uti Manikeismen, och
inom kort lamnade han dess ranker. Au-gustinus
var vid denna tid larare i retorik
i Kartago, men var missbelaten med den
slappa disciplin som var radande uti de

att disciplinen i de romerska skolorna var

ling av olydnad och forakt for sin moder
sager han pa ett stalle uti sina bekannel-ser:
"Och vad var det, O Gud, som hon
under :sa. manga tarar bad Dig om, om icke
det, att du skulle farhindra min avresa?
Men Du uti djupet av Dina rad enar du
sag grundtanken uti hennes begaran, gay
henne icke vad hon da, egarde, pa det att
Du matte verka uti mig det som hon alltid
bad om." Da, Monica fernam, att hennes
son hade avrest, ayseglade aven hon till
Italien, sa snart tillfalle gays dartill. Un-der
denna resa uppstod en sear storm, O.
till och med sjOmannen voro osakra om
utgangen; men Monica, farvissad om att
hon skulle aterse sin son, sakte att trosta
den klentrogna besattningen, forsakrande
dem om en lycklig ankomst till resans mal.
Vi fara fOrbi, som hastigast, de handel-ser
som timade uti Augustinii liv, under
den farsta tiden, da han vistades uti Rom
och Milano, tar att saga nagonting om den
underbara forandring uti hams liv, som
gjorde honom till en i sanning god manni-ska.
Strax efter ankomsten till Italien
barjade han att ahbra Ambrosius' predik
ningar, till en barjan, av nyfikenhet och
intresse for dess Valtaliga form; men det
drojde icke lange ferren han borjade in-tressera
sig aven f8r innehallet. Annu hall
han pa. att utkampa svara sjalsstrider, och
led ofta nederlag uti dessa strider. Han
var ofOrmOgen att bryta syndens fruktans-varda
makt, och kande sig vanmaktig i
sin ande. Efter att en tid hava studerat
den nyplatonska filosofien, barjade han att
med allvar lasa Bibeln. Sarskilt grep ho-nom
skildringen i romarebrevets sjunde
kapitel av tvedrakten room det manskliga
vasendet, ty uti apostlens sjalsstrider igen-kande
han sina egna.
hande det sig att han en dag fick be-av
en van, som talade om den fromme
eremiten Antonius och hans uppoffrand3
liv. Uti en tystnad som faljde, jamfarde
Augustinus sin forflutna levnad med denna
helige mans, — en valdig storm uppstod
uti hans sjal, alfOljd av bittra Ural. Han
skyndade ut i tradgarden. Dar kastade
han sig under ett trad och ropade Mgt
graitande: "Huru. lange 0 •Herre? :Skall du
vara vred for alltid? Utplana mina Over-tradelser,
huru lange, huru lange? Varfor
alltid i morgon och Ater i morgon? Var-for
icke nu? VarfOr gar du ej i denna
stund ett slut pa all min smalek?" "St
talade jag," sager han, "och do, jag lyssna-de
horde jag en rust, en barnarost, fran
ett narbelaget hem, upprepa upp och
las; sla, upp och las! Jag kunde ej min-nas
nagon lek dar man hade for vana att
upprepa dessa ord, och darfor tog jag dem
sasom ett budskap ifran ovan, att jag skul-le
sla upp min k ibel och lasa." Augusti-nus
lydde denna rost, hamtade ett exem-plar
av romarebrevet och fick upp detta
stalle: "Latom osks vandra skickligt sasom
om dagen, icke i gillen och dryckeslag,
icke i otukt och utsvavningar, icke i kiv
och avund; utan ikladen eder Kristus, och
dragen icke omsorg om kattet till begarel-ser."
Da han last dessa ord stannade han,
men ett nytt ljus hade Ott upp for hans
sjal, och med ett farandrat anlete, som
kannetecknade ett farandrat liv, kungjor-de
han tar sin van vad som intraffat. Bd-da
gingo for att omtala fOr Monica. "Da
gingo vi till min moder," sager han, "vi
omtala for henne — hon trajdas. Vi om-tala
huru det gick till — hon hoppar av
gladje, triumferar och tackar Dig som gi-ver
langt utover vad vi bedja eller tanka."
Augustinus sokte nu ensamheten och
drog :sig undan med sin moder och nagra
\Tanner till ett lantstalle icke langt ifran
Milano dar han i stillhet beredde sig att
mottaga dopet. :Etter dopet besekte han
Rom varefter han fortsatte resan till Af-rika.
Under denna resa dog hans moder
i Roms hamnstad, Ostia. Kort fore hennes
insjuknande, hade moder och son, ,som nu
voro ett i Kristus, njutit av ett samtal som
strackte sig langt uttiver tidens och rum-mets
granser, och var en forsmak till den
eviga sabbatsvilan. Vid slutet av detta
underbara samtal, sade Monica: "Vad gar
jag liar, jag vet icke, nu da jag fatt se dig
forakta varldens gladje for att tjana Gud
— vad gar jag har?" Hon langtade hem,
och hennes .anskan uppfylldes room nagra
fa dagar. Uti sina "Bekannelser" har Au-gustinus
at henne rest en skon minnes-yard.
Efter aterkomsten till Afrika forde Au-gustinus
ett strangt asketiskt liv tillsam-mans
med sina vanner. Sedan blev han
presbyter i den narbelagna staden Hippo
Regius, och snart darefter blev han bis-kop
darstades. 'Sa,som biskop hade han
manga bittra strider att utkampa med
dana som tankte olika. Om hans insats
uti sin tids religibsa verksamhet onska vi
icke har att orda, efter att hava sokt att
endast framdraga nagot av intresse fran
hams personliga liv. Dessa hans "Beken-nelser,"
ur vilka vi hamtat vara tankar
kanske aro framstallda uti alit for marka
farger, dock maste vi under det vi lasa
dem beundra den man som sa troget och
oppenhjartigt bekanner far Gud sin lev-nad.
Augus'tinus dog Ar 430 i staden Hippo,
icke sa langt fran sin fedelseort. Hans
'lies afton fardystrades av de vilda Vanda-lernas
infall uti norra Afrika, och hans
difd intraffade da dessa hallo pa, att I e-lagra

starsta arbete.
THE RIVER OF LIFE
By E'MIL T. CARLSON
The human life resembles a river in
many ways. Just as life has three dis-tinct
stages of development so also the
course of every river may be divided into
three distinct divisions. The source or be-ginning
of a river is its youth. As it winds
on towards its goal it becomes more and
more mature. Gradually approaching the
end of its course it reaches its old age.
Here as it is about to empty its contents
into the ocean its current becomes sluggish
and its bed worn.
A river is always moving, so also is life.
There are times when the current runs
swiftly. At other times it runs more slowly
and with greater difficulty. Just as there
are falls and whirlpools in a river's course
so there are breaks and eruptions in every
human life. Then again there are obstruc-tions
causing the current to pass slowly and
with difficulty. It is just at such places in
a river's course that its power is available
for use. In like manner it is the difficul-ties
encountered and overcome in a per-son's
life that tests his power and efficien-cy.
No river runs straight. It has more or
less windings and bends in its course. Such
also is human life. Many a meandering
stream as it approaches the sea will have
formed islands and lakes. The person who
has not had a set goal in life and purposed
to reach that goal will find his life more or
less a failure. He will not have accomp-lished
much of importance and the fruits of
his labor will have been divided and of lit-tle
value.
The mouth of a river is always larger
than its source. A large river as it empties
into the sea is but a combination of many
smaller rivers and brooks. So also is life.
We are all more or less influenced by each
other. Other men's experiences and teach-ings
enlarge our lives. Our life in turn goes
up in some other person's life. As a small
rivulet we ,start out in life. Our own ex-perience
as well as other people's experi-ences
and teachings enlarge our lives. The
more of these little rivulets entering into
our lives, the . larger will our lives be as
we approach the Sea of Eternity.
A river's purpose is not merely to drain
and cleanse, but also to supply water for
vegetation, animals and mankind. We al-ways
find the most vegetation and natur-ally
the densest population close to a large
river. Whether the river is there because of
the vegetation or the vegetation is there be-cause
of the river might be a debatable
question. We know this much, however,
that vegetation, rivers and civilization go
hand in hand. How beautifully does not
this correspond to lives of great men! We
are accustomed to class a man great who
has been the means of advancing and bet-tering
civilization. If we take some of the
world's greatest statesmen we find that it ,
is what they did that helps us to remember
who they were. That life indeed can be
said to be worth while which, like the river
drains off all rubbish and trash, helps to
rid society of the evils which beset it, and
at the same time helps to nourish and tend
the things worth while.
Our lives like the pure crystal water of
the river should reflect the nobler things
above us. If we do not reflect the things
that are noble and true we will reflect those
that are evil. Would that God could look
down at every man and woman and there
see a true image of Himself as He meant us
to be.
Lastly a river suggests immortality to us.
As we stand on the river's bank watching
it glide peacefully by, it seems to tell us,

"Men may come and men may go, but I go
on forever." Solomon said, "All rivers run
into the sea; yet the sea is not full; Unto
the place from whence the rivers come,
thither they return again." Our present
lives will all end in eternity. Shall they
then be resurrected to the Life Eternal?

There is nothing like the love of a
mother. Why? Is there any proof of such
a statement? Let me tell you a story or
rather introduce you to a scene of every-day
life.
It is night. Nature is sleeping and the
evening breezes are singing their lullaby.
The clock had just struck eleven. The
bright moonlight is stealing thru the win-dow,
and above the heavens are spread in
beauty and grandeur.
In the lone cottage, far from other peo-ple,
in the wild woods, the children are
sleeping peacefully. The father has slept
for two years beneath the old oak tree,
and the mother, with her children, is left
alone. She has not yet gone to bed, and
looking thru the window we see her taking
down her Bible from the book shelf. Si-lently
she opens the comforter of her
heart and commences to read: "We spend
our years as a tale that is told." She
starts to meditate upon that wonderful
thought. There are the children sleeping,
peacefully and sweetly. They, most cer-tainly,
will have a long future. She
closes the book, and kneels down by the
chair in prayer to God Almighty: "Lord,
take thou care of my children," Oh, that
prayer, how it will follow those children
on their journey thru life.
Mother, who is more worthy to be hon-ored
than you? Whom will we better re-member
in our old age, than you? Who
comforted us in time of need, more than
you, mother? Tho our friends forsake
us; tho our most intimate relations be-tray
us, tho every one else leaves us;
Chapel speakers this month have been
Rev. A. J. Northrop, Dr. A. E. Bess, Mr.

Dr. W. B. Riley. Other visitors have been:
Prof. C. R. Howd of Hamline, and Rev. and
Mrs. Ole Hanson, Fargo, N. Dak.
Visitors' Day was a decided success. It
took a determined rainstorm to prevent us
from being entirely swamped by the crowd.
In spite of the inclement weather the audi-ence
completely filled the chapel and seats
nevertheless mother remains steadfast.
When others are silent, she prays. When
others rest, she works. She is never too
weary or tired to work for us. It may be
that this is a picture of the past for you,
my friend, it may be that that mother rests
in the lonely graveyard, but one thing is
certain, her love, her prayer and her con-fidence
in you, will follow you wherever
you may wander. Pay thy tribute, if thy
mother still lives, while you possess this
great treasure, while she is still loving
and praying.
"Whose love can equal the love of a
Mother;
Whose the devotion so loyal and true!
Who suffers so much, with such joy for
another,
Who works with such pleasure as Mother
for you?
You hail with delight the friendship of
others,
You revel in love of the sweetheart
you've won,
Yet, where do you find a friendship like
Mothers,
Unbroken till death calls and life's work
is done."

The series of talks on Vocational guidance
by 'Dr. Bess have been very beneficial to
the students. Students who are not yet
sure as to what calling they should follow
will find in Dr. Bess' talks many valuable
suggestions.
On the seventh of April Miss Price gave
an interesting Bible Reading program in
chapel.
The prize this month forthe most humor-ous
talk will be awarded to Mr. A. H. Cross.
His talk was a veritable series of object
lessons as he pulled one article after the
other, from an apple to a water bottle,
from his pockets and other secret recesses.

THE STUDENT VOLUNTEER BAND
"The morning stars sang together and the
sons of God shouted for joy when the first
missionary, the on of God was sent to
habitable parts of this earth." To be in
some measure the follower of this Great
Missionary is the goal of the Student Vo-lunteer
Band. Although working somewhat
in quietness, the Band has not beeen inac-tive
during the past year. Several new vo-lunteers
have been enrolled which is very
promising for the missionary cause. Young
people's meetings have been conducted in
the various churches and illustrated lec-tures
have been given by Prof. Finstrom
under the Band's leadership.
Five delegates were sent to the Student
Volunteer Convention in St. Peter, two rep-resenting
the student body, two the Volun-teer
Band, and one faculty member. In-spiring
speeches were given by them on
their return, showing the progress of the
mission work, as well as the crying need
of the mission field for more workers.
Private meetings have been held by the
band every other Saturday, consisting of a
short business session followed by a prayer
meeting.
The purpose of the Band is to be follow-ers
of the Nazarene and if God permits in
some future day to carry the Gospel Light
to the uttermost parts of the earth. This
work requires zeal for God and love for
souls. It requires the prayers of the send-er
and the sent and a firm reliance on Him
who is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Great deeds are wrought unconsciously by
the constraining love of Christ and humbly
asking: "Lord, what wilt thou have me to
do?"

OLIVIA JOHNSON MEMORIAL MIS-SIONARY
MOVEMENT
During the past year the Olivia Johnson
Memorial Missionary Movement has en-deavored
to carry out the purpose of this
organization, namely, to stimulate interest
in home and foreign missions, by conduct-ing
services in the various churches. We
have had the privilege of listening to mis-sionaries
who have returned from the for-eign
field and who have given us very in-spiring
messages. Many have contributed
to this movement and we pray that we
might in some small measure help carry
the gospel to those who are longing for it
and looking to us for help.

MISSIONARY BAND
The aim of the Missionary Band is to
awaken and sustain interest among its
members and to engage in active Christian
service. We have conducted fifteen meet-ing
in the churches, chapels, and missions
in the Twin Cities. The Band has had
charge of the Friday evening prayer meet-ings
and also the Bible class, which meets
every Sunday morning. At seven-forty ev-ery
morning we meet in one of the class
THE SOPHOMORE CLASS
Two years ago forty boys and girls were
making a decision which was to change
the course of their lives. The best in them
triumphed and now you may recognize
their bright young faces in the halls of
Bethel Academy.
This group of boys and girls, called the
Sophomore Class, is ideal in every respect.
Its members excel in everything from
preaching to running mile races. But this
is not due to our own efforts so much as
the wonderful opportunities presented us
in' Bethel Academy.
To the faculty members and especially
to Prof. Jensen, our class supervisor, the
,Sophomore class extends its deepest grati-tude
for the interest they have shown and
the encouragement they have given us.
To those who are leaving school we say
a reluctant farewell, yet we know they will
go out into the world to represent Bethel
Academy and her highest principles.
_ We decided for Bethel nor do we regret
it, and we shall come back next Fall with
more enthusiasm and energy.

rooms for a season of prayer before taking
up our duties for the day. We feel so
thankful to God for the past school year
and our prayer is that every member of
the Band may continue in His service
through the summer and years to come and
that we might say, "I Lord, today truly ask
that I may ready be, To do the work, and
bear the cross that thou hast planned for
me."

JUNIOR EVENTS
The worthy Juniors who are now looking
forward to be the honorable Seniors next
September, have been a busy and happy
crowd this past school year. The class has
had four enjoyable socials during the year
which have helped us to lighten our wor-ries
about History and English III. exams.
Perhaps the most interesting of the four
was the last one, held Monday evening, the
25th of April. The program consisted of
two extemporaneous' speeches, an extem-poraneous
debate on the subject of "Re-solved
that a chicken has more intelligence
than a duck," a speech on humorous mem-ories
of eight months of soldier life in Lon-don
by Carl Ackerman, a class prophecy
by Russel Palmquist, and two numbers by
a male quartet. The prophecy by Russel
Palmquist was especially worthy of men-tion
causing the members of the class to
roar with laughter. His keen vision en-abled
us to know what our positions in life
will be twenty-five years in the future.
These positions included dog catchers,
laundrymen, boarding house managers, cir-cus
men, butchers, singers, chiefs of police,
surgeons, preachers, evangelists, mission-aries
and many others. This prophecy will
long be remembered as one of the big
events of our Junior year in Bethel,
At the recent preliminary field meet the
Juniors carried off a big majority of the
points, which makes us feel proud of our
Junior athletes.
We have had two candy sales during the
year netting us about thirty-five dollars,
which together with our monthly dues will
mount to a very respectable sum. You
must hand it to the Juniors for having fi-nancial
ability.
At this writing the Juniors are busy mak-ing
preparations for the annual Junior-
Senior banquet, an event of which we hope
the Seniors will be justly proud.
This school year has come to a close and
we all feel happy that next year we can
come back to dear old Bethel and help
make the Senior Class of 1921-22 the big-gest
and best the school year has even seen.

WHAT ABOUT THE "BETHEL HOUSE"7
The Bethel House has been all that the
name implies and much more. This state-ment
can be verified by any of the girls
who was lucky enough to come there. True
enough, the clouds from the lower regions

our horizon and tears have flowed
fast. But we have smiled through our

tears knowing that "clouds would be sun-shine
tomorrow."
A wonderful thing to have is a sunny
disposition and this has prevailed at the
"Bethel House." Sour disposition, bad
temper and a grouchy manner have found
no place among the truly happy inha-bitants.
True fun and laughter have gone
hand in hand with hard work and prayer.
Through the help of our beloved "mother
Brady" battles have been fought and vic-tories
won, and many are the problems and
questions which she with a clear mind,
willing hand and a loving heart has solv-ed.
To her the Bethel House girls are in-debted
more than they now realize.
Together with her the Bethel House in-habitants—
including their "little big" broth-er,
wish to thank members of the faculty
and others who have done their utmost to
make our stay there a pleasant one.
Three cheers for the Bethel House! Hip,

The Bethel Academy Alumni Association
dates backs to the year 1908; the year that
Ohio offered its fifth citizen to the presi-dential
chair. This year ought to mean to
the B.A.A.A. what it meant to Ex-president
Taft himself.
Leonard Palmquist, now a farmer in Oak-land,
Nebr., and Carl Tideman, now a pas-tor
at Cokato, Minn., were our first Alumni.
We can be proud of the fact that from this
small nucleus we have grown to an or-ganization
of 218 members including this
year's class. In fourteen years the school
has grown from a graduating class of two
to a graduating class of forty. If the school
were stagnant today our association after
fourteen commencements would only con-sist
of twenty-eight members.
Let us turn back and take a review of the
Alumni. The class of 1911 had eleven mem-bers,
five of these are physicians, one of
whom has already died, one more a dentist
and still one more is now Studying medicine.
Seven out of eleven consequently are en-deavoring
to conquer the disease enemy.
At least twenty per cent of the Alumni are
ministers or engaged in some other Chris-tian
work. Approximately ten per cent are
teachers; six per cent nurses, six per cent
doctors and thirty per cent are now study-ing
in other institutions. These figures are
not exactly accurate but still it shows to
some degree the quality that we class as
our association.
The Senior Alumni Banquet will be held
Monday June 6th, 7 P. M. at the Commo-dore
Tea Rooms, Holly & Western avenues.
The executive committee has put together
an A 1 program, this plus just as good a
menu will make it worth while for every
graduate to attend!
Harold Kerfoot, '17 is attending the Up-per
Iowa University at Feyette, Iowa. He

Jeannette 'Sjoquist, '18 has given up pe-dagogy
and is now taking a nurses' train-ing

N. D.
Mr. Fred Moberg, '18 and Miss Anna

home of Prof. Olson. Mr. Moberg is a
senior at the Seminary.
The treasurer has sent out statements
showing your dues in the association, not
that he thinks you are all dead-beats but
just as a small reminder—lest we forget.
Evidently some did not receive their state-ments
which was due to wrong addresses
and oftentimes to no address at all.
Dues in the association are only the small
sum of 50c a year which we feel that each
and every one can afford.
Those wishing to find out what their dues
are and those who wish to pay their dues
can do so by sending them to the treasurer,

"I DIDN'T HAVE TIME"
"I didn't have time to get my lessons"
is an excuse often heard in our class-rooms
at 'Bethel. The following table
shows how some students at Bethel Acad-emy
spend the day.
Sleep, 8 hours; Morning toilet, 40 minutes;
Six classes, 45 minutes each, 4 h. 30 m.;
Attending chapel, 40 m. ; Work for board
and room, 4 h.; Walk to and from school,
40 m.; Daily correspondence, 1 hr.; three
meal times, 2 h. 30 m.; Daily exercise, 1 h.
30 m. ; Reading current literature, 20 m.
Sum: 23 hours and 55 minutes. This
leaves 5 minutes to study six lessons, prac-tice
vocal or piano exercises if you don't
go out in the evening for recreation.

REPRODUCTION PLUS
Buckbee Mears' concern, in producing a plate,
is not merely to slap a peace of copper onto a
wood block, rush it over to the shipping clerk
and then get a special delivery invoice into the
mails.
Their idea in a engraving is to make it so that
it will truly reproduce your product just exact-ly
the way it looks to you—and then to finish
up by adding a bit of charm and beauty for good
measure.
Yes, sir, you will get REPRODUCTION PLUS

Is a suitable gift for almost any occasion. It speaks a universal language—a language
understood by everybody. Whether it conveys a message of love or friendship, it tells
it more effectively than a written letter. Of course, to do this it has to be a "Speak-ing

Makes an appeal to all the people:
TO THE YOUNG:
In the opportunity for preparation and training offered for various kinds of
work in its different departments:—Preparatory, Academic, Music, Expression,
Commercial, and Theological.
WHY not make the most of yourself?
WHY plod along when the opportunity of special train-ng
is offered you?
WHY not make a "bold stroke" and come to Bethel?
He wins who DOES brave deeds; not THINKS them only.
BETHEL is YOUR school. Decide now to enroll. This
means you—young man or woman—wherever you are!

advice today.
TO THE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE:
Bethel offers a splendid opportunity for investment in Christian education
and character. Consider the rich returns on donations of money for scholarships,
dormitory buildings, equipment in various departments, endowment of chairs in
Bible, Sunday School Training, etc., and toward the running expenses. Bethel
needs you! You need Bethel! Do not neglect to have a part in this important
work.
TO ALL OF US:
Wherever we find young people let us encourage them to heed God's call
and prepare themselves for their life work, whether as ministers of the gospel,
lay-workers or whatever else. Make this your business. Help the young peo-ple
see the demands of the kingdom in pulpit and pew.
